[lbo-talk] Slobo poisoned?

[Chris Doss]

In a strange way, I almost feel sorry for Slobo, the
same way as I do for Mussolini. I see them as
low-level thug mediocrities who let things get way,
way out of control. People who were inherently not
really that awful, but who let themselves get swept up
into bloodthirsty events and participated out of
cowardice/inertia. I don't know that much about Slobo,
so I may be wrong.
